Seeking long-term book buddies Looking for female book buddy | IST

0 Upvotes

Hey! I’m 25M from India, looking for a book buddy who might turn into a genuine friend! πŸ“šβ˜•οΈ
I mostly read romance, classics, and romantasy. Some of my favourites are The Cruel Prince series, Once Upon a Broken Heart, Funny story, Kafka on the shore and many more.
Currently reading Fourth Wing, and PLEASE, if you’ve read it or are reading it too, I need someone to scream about Violet and Xaden with because I’m losing my mind and have no one to talk to about them. 😭
Would love to discuss books, share recommendations, judge fictional characters together, and occasionally get sidetracked into the most random conversations. 🫢🏻
If that sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to DM me! πŸ’•

Starting a book 22F UK Short stories & non-fiction

3 Upvotes

Hi! I remember reading short stories when I was younger, and I really enjoyed them (Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, etc.). I'm also interested in topics like psychology and philosophy. I want to pick up the habit of reading again, and I'd love to read the same short stories with a buddy and discuss them together. I love stories that are melancholic, tragic or with a dark twist. For non-fiction, I don't mind if we read different books, but we can still share what we've learnt. Ideally, I'm looking for someone

- age 18-40, based in the UK

- using Discord

- happy to text & discuss once a week

- if you know your mbti, I get along well with enfj/entj/infj/intj

If you're interested, please dm me and tell me whether you fit/ are happy with the above criteria :)

Seeking long-term book buddies Beginner reader looking for a book buddy πŸ“šπŸ™‚

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a complete beginner who recently got into reading, so I'm still exploring this whole bookish world and figuring out what I enjoy.

I'm mostly interested in nonfiction β€” books that teach me something, help me understand people and the world better, or give me a new perspective on life.

But I'm not completely against fiction! If you're the kind of person who gets ridiculously enthusiastic about fictional characters, and makes me feel like I'm missing out on the greatest story ever written, there's a good chance you'll convince me to read it. πŸ˜‚ I'm very much open to being influenced by passionate readers.

I'm looking for a book buddy who can guide me as I explore reading, recommend books, exchange thoughts, and have those discussions.

I'm just hoping to meet someone curious, open-minded, and enthusiastic about sharing what they love. We can learn things together, disagree about ideas, exchange recommendations, and hopefully become good friends along the way.

Seeking buddy & flexible on book choice Looking for a casual, no-stress book buddy (26M)

2 Upvotes

Not trying to set strict targets or to become better at reading. Nobody in my circle really reads, and I got tired of chatting with these dead llm's about books.

Just looking for someone to trade random blind recommendations with, chat about good plots or prose, and discover unexpected favorites or the opposite of it too.

​ I read all over the place. Currently finishing The Witcher series, but I also jump between classics/existential works (Fitzgerald, Camus, Kafka, Dostoevsky, Oscar Wilde, etc.), mysteries (Agatha Christie, Doyle), and cozy reads (The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery, and many random books, the only type of books that I prefer in audio form).

​ Down for buddy reads or just trading updates whenever we finish a book.

Seeking long-term book buddies 40F reading mostly contemporary romcoms

6 Upvotes

Looking for people who are 30+ and enjoy reading funny and emotional romance books. For example, some of my favourite authors are Alexis Hall, Anita Kelly and Alicia Thompson. I read other genres too, but that is the main one I read. The genres I don't read are dark romance, horror, thrillers, true crime, any book that is mostly sad, dark, or violent.

We don't need to read the same book at the same time, just be able to talk in general, discuss books that we liked, or we didn't; and I want to become friends in general too.

Please contact me if you're very friendly and talkative, and if you use Discord mainly to interact. And also please pay attention to the age requirement, and to the fact that I want to be able to discuss funny/happy emotional books.

I live in Europe but I don't mind talking with people in other time zones.

13 Upvotes

Id love to read along with someone! Currently starting the witch and on a quiet street but I'm open to all genres! I'll read anything. Depends on my mood entirely. I go through phases lol. I also just want to talk in general as well..about anything and everything. Become besties and all that πŸ’• I'm also into baking, working out, crafts/DIY, binge watching shows and movies, taking little trips.

I'm a talkative girly and love to chat. Doesn't have to be books, but would love to vent about a character that's making me want to throw a book at a wall. Share pics of what we're cooking, vent about some tea that's brewing, uplift each other and be real with each other. Down for it all :) feel free to reach out if this sounds like something you'd be down for!!
